Pharaoh’s servants
Exodus 9:20-25
20 Those officials of Pharaoh who feared the word of the LORD
hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside.
21 But those who ignored the word of the LORD left their
slaves and livestock in the field.
22 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward
the sky so that hail will fall all over Egypt—on men and animals and on
everything growing in the fields of Egypt.”
23 When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the
LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the
LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt;
24 hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the
worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.
25 Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields—both
men and animals; it beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped
every tree.
Amaziah
2 Chronicles 25:6-11
6 He also hired a hundred thousand fighting men from Israel
for a hundred talents of silver.
7 But a man of God came to him and said, “O king, these
troops from Israel must not march with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—not
with any of the people of Ephraim.
8 Even if you go and fight courageously in battle, God will
overthrow you before the enemy, for God has the power to help or to overthrow.”
9 Amaziah asked the man of God, “But what about the hundred
talents I paid for these Israelite troops?” The man of God replied, “The LORD
can give you much more than that.”
10 So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from
Ephraim and sent them home. They were furious with Judah and left for home in a
great rage.
11 Amaziah then marshaled his strength and led his army to
the Valley of Salt, where he killed ten thousand men of Seir.
